Week 4

This project 1 will be a progressive project so whatever theme we picked for our vehicle will be used continuously and polished further, below are the instructions for this project.

You are to create a suitable vehicle and props design for the world that you have proposed across for character design and anatomy (optional) or you can have it separate. Your vehicle and props should communicate its functionality that reflect the world proposed. Note that for vehicle (man-made mechanical ), you are to choose 1 mininum from any of these types (land, air, water), whilst props are the components suitable to your vehicle where you will be continuously developing till your Final Project. Here you will be showcasing your ideation process as listed below:
  1. Moodboard and style guide
  2. Thumbnail Sketches (20 drawing in 2 sheets)
  3. Silhouettes (10 pieces in 1 sheet)
  4. Rough Value painting (5 chosen from the silhouettes) - 1 sheet
  5. Design breakdowns - min 1 sheet
The theme I selected steampunk and a mix of fantasy. the vehicles will be based on the European style. The country's era is during ancient times, it's a very prosperous and rich country that mainly depends on magic as its source of power. The vehicles mostly working by mana (spiritual energy) to support wars. Below are my references and moodboard.

FEEDBACKS

Week 4
  • You can go with design, make sure to explore more again
Week 5
  • Don't go into details yet
  • I like your design but need more exploration
  • (Air) The feathers are too much, and perspective on the bottom is wrong. 
  • (Land) Don't let it only be a box, you can use box as a base but make it more interesting. 
  • (Water) It is okay but make sure to explore more before detailing.
Week 6
  • Design looks better now, but for the water vehicle, you need to explore more or else you can change it into a speedboat.
